Western & Southern Open: Day 5 Media Notes WESTERN & SOUTHERN OPEN: DAY 5 MEDIA NOTES Thursday, August 20, 2015 Lindner Family Tennis Center, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA | August 16 – 23, 2015 Draw: S-56, D-24 | Prize Money: $4,457,065 ($3,826,655 on-site) | Surface: Outdoor Hard ATP Info: Tournament Info: ATP PR & Marketing: www.ATPWorldTour.com www.cincytennis.com Martin Dagahs: [email protected] Twitter: @ATPWorldTour @CincyTennis #CincyTennis Maria Garcia-Planas: [email protected] Facebook: ATP World Tour facebook.com/cincytennis Richard Evans: [email protected] Press Room: +1 5136510303 (x2250) Edward La Cava: [email protected] FEDERER, NADAL, DJOKOVIC, WAWRINKA NEARING BLOCKBUSTER QFS STARS ALIGN ON DAY 5: All eight third-round singles matches are on Thursday’s schedule, featuring seven of the Top 8 seeds (only missing No. 4 Kei Nishikori, who withdrew). Some of tennis’ biggest stars are a win away from colossal quarterfinals. World No. 1 Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka could meet Friday in a Roland Garros final rematch, while the first Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal match of 2015 is also a potential quarterfinal. But first things first, the four Grand Slam champions must post victories on Thursday against the likes of No. 13 seed David Goffin, No. 15 seed Kevin Anderson and ageless ace king Ivo Karlovic. FEDERER EYES QUARTERS: Federer opened on Tuesday night with a straight sets win over Roberto Bautista Agut to improve his career record to 38-8 in Cincinnati. Since a 1-4 start in Cincinnati, the Swiss superstar has compiled a 37-4 record since 2005 when he defeated Andy Roddick for his first of six Western & Southern Open titles. Federer is looking to reach his ninth quarter-final in his last 11 appearances. Federer takes a 3-0 FedEx Head 2 Head record against No. 15 seed Kevin Anderson, who is appearing in his first R16 in Cincinnati. DJOKOVIC SEEKS GOLDEN MASTERS: Djokovic is attempting to become the first player to sweep all nine different ATP Masters 1000 titles in his career. He has never missed the Western & Southern Open since qualifying for the event in 2005 as the 97th-ranked player in the world (l. to Gonzalez). The Serb is 23-10 lifetime in the Cincinnati main draw and making his 11th appearance at the tournament, most of any ATP Masters 1000 event. During the Open Era, only Lleyton Hewitt (28-11) has won more Cincinnati matches without capturing the title. Djokovic, who has reached nine straight finals this season, has lost in four Cincinnati championship matches, to Andy Murray in 2008 and ‘11, and to Federer in 2009 and ’12. LIKE FEDERER, NADAL IS DEFENDING TITLE: Nadal was unable to defend his 2013 Cincinnati title (d. Isner) last summer due to injury. Nadal also withdrew from the Western & Southern Open in 2012, so his last loss in Cincinnati came to Mardy Fish in the 2011 quarter-finals. Before beating Jeremy Chardy on Wednesday, Nadal was 14-8 in his previous eight hard-court tournaments, falling short of the semi-finals at each event dating back to the 2014 Miami final (l. to Djokovic). DON’T FORGET ABOUT ANDY: Coming off his third ATP Masters 1000 Canada title, Andy Murray seeks his third Cincinnati championship and faces No. 16 seed Grigor Dimitrov on Thursday. Murray has never won the Canada and Cincinnati titles in the same season, a feat that only six men have accomplished during the Open Era (since 1968). More often than not, sweeping the summer ATP Masters 1000 events is a sign of great things to come.

The 36-year-old was last ranked in the Top 20 during the week of Oct. 20, 2008, not long after his run to the Western & Southern Open semi-finals. With his return to the Top 20 after this tournament, Karlovic at 36 yrs, 5 mons. would be the oldest player in the elite group since 37-year-old Jimmy Connors was No. 20 during the week of Feb. 19, 1990. NO AMERICANS IN SWEET 16: The final four Americans were eliminated in the second round on Wednesday. According to tournament historian Phillip S. Smith, 2015 marks the first time in Western & Southern Open history (since 1899) that no Americans advanced to the Round of 16.

The World No. 1 and four- time finalist has a 23-10 tournament record, defeating Paire 7-5, 6-2 in his opener on Wednesday. Only Federer (322) and Nadal (297) have more ATP Masters 1000 wins than Djokovic (254). Djokovic is seeking his first Cincinnati title, which would make him the first player to win all nine ATP Masters 1000 events in his career. It would also give him five ATP Masters 1000 titles for the season and 25 for his career – second only to Nadal (27). Djokovic has reached a career-high nine straight finals since falling in the Doha quarter-finals to start the season (l. to Karlovic). Of the nine finals, Djokovic has won six, highlighted by the eighth and ninth Grand Slam titles of his career (Australian Open d. Murray; Wimbledon d. Federer). Only four players have beaten Djokovic in 2015: Karlovic (Doha QF), Federer (Dubai F), Wawrinka (Roland Garros F) and Murray (Montréal F). The Serb has an 18-3 record against Top 10 opposition in 2015, beating every other Top 10 player at least once th Djokovic is No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Rankings for the 160 week in his career, sixth all-time. He has been No. 1 the last 59 weeks (since July 7, 2014) Djokovic finished 2014 at No. 1 for the third time in four years (2011-12, 2014), winning an ATP World Tour-high seven titles in eight finals. Goffin improved his career record to 4-1 in Cincinnati after beating qualifier Lu and Verdasco. Two years ago, he qualified and lost in 3R to No. 1 Djokovic 6-2, 6-0 -- the same round and tournament as their match on Thursday. Goffin is 1-19 lifetime against Top 10 opponents with lone win over No. 9 Raonic (2014 Basel QF). Goffin has reached two ATP World Tour finals this season, at s-Hertogenbosch on grass in June (l. to Mahut) and at Gstaad on clay (l. to Thiem). He has returned to his career-high ranking of No. 14, first reached following 4R run at Wimbledon (l. to Wawrinka). The 24-year-old Belgian is playing his 17th ATP Masters 1000 event (17-16). Last week, he reached 3R in Montréal (d. Johnson and Querrey, l. to No. 4 Nishikori). In May, advanced to his first ATP Masters 1000 QF in Rome (l. to Ferrer). Goffin has set a new career-best with 28 wins this season. He won 25 matches in 2014, rising 91 places in the Emirates ATP Rankings to be named the ATP Comeback Player of the Year.

  • 2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field
    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.

'Given the length of time tennis matches generally go for and the sweat rate of most normal, healthy athletes, they won't get to a state where they get too critically dehydrated' The Australian Open's chief medical officer, Dr Tim Wood 'As much as it's easy to say the conditions are safe - a few people said there's doctors and stuff saying it's fine - it only takes one bad thing to happen' British Wimbledon champion, Andy Murray The issue at a glance On Thursday, January 16, 2014, tournament referee, Wayne McEwen, applied the extreme heat policy at the Australian Open, suspending all play on outdoor courts and ordering the roofs closed on the Rod Laver Arena and the Hisense Arena. This decision was taken on what was the third day during which players had had to compete in very high temperatures. Games proceeded the next day without postponements or the closing of the roofs, despite a continuance of the extreme heat. A number of players have complained that the conditions were 'inhumane' and potentially placed players' health at risk. There have been calls to review the extreme heat policy and the manner in which it is implemented. Others have argued that there was no real danger and that the conditions affected all players equally. The issue remains unresolved.

    HOW CHINESE NEW MEDIA CONSTRUCT ELITE FEMALE ATHLETES: GENDER, NATIONALISM, AND INDIVIDUALISM by QINGRU XU (Under the Direction of Dr. Peggy J. Kreshel) Around the world, sport is principally organized around masculinity. Women are often afforded limited access to sports participation, situated as “others” in a male-dominated domain. This gender inequality is mirrored in sports media; selective representations have a tremendous influence on people’s perception and understanding of sport, athletes, and society. In this study, I examined media representations of two Chinese female athletes of different status—specialized athlete, Ding Ning, and professional athlete, Li Na— in China, a nation in the midst of political/economic/cultural transformation and a sports reform initiative. Analyzing stories drawn from two Chinese web portals, I focused particularly on how gender, nationalism, and collectivism/individualism entered into media representations to determine if there were differences in the portrayals of these two female athletes. The portraits that emerged were very distinctive. A textual analysis revealed significant differences in each of the three conceptual areas. A fourth theme, which I have identified as “monetary value” also emerged. Possible explanations for and implications of differences in the media portrayals of the two athletes at this particular historical moment in Chinese society were provided.
